Beginning with a throwaway line from Luke Skywalker about the “Clone Wars” in A New Hope, viewers have always known clones exist in the Star Wars universe. However, fans had to wait for the Expanded Universe and 2002’s Attack of the Clones to witness these duplicates in action. Since then, J.J. Abrams utilized cloning to facilitate the return of Palpatine in Rise of Skywalker, and Season 3 of The Mandalorian employed the Emperor’s cloning machinations from the Expanded Universe’s Thrawn Trilogy. With cloning technology firmly established in-universe and heavily teased in recent Mandalorian episodes, fans are left wondering what this could mean for the future of the Star Wars universe.
